“I condemn in the strongest possible terms this unacceptable attack,” Macron told reporters during a visit to central France.
“Everything leads us to believe that responsibility can be attributed to Russia, and the work of the British services, shared with France’s services, confirms it,” he added.
“I will announce the measures that we are going to take in the coming days,” he said.
It was unclear whether the action would be counter-measures against Russia.
Macron said he would discuss the issue with German Chancellor Angela Merkel who is due in Paris on Friday.

The poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal was a “disgusting” attack on Britain, to which French President Emmanuel Macron will respond with “firmness,” it was reported...
ReplyDelete“This despicable attack will have consequences and the president will act firmly with his partners,” a French presidential source said, commenting on the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter in the UK’s Salisbury in early March, as reported by Reuters. French leader Emmanuel Macron would not attend the official Russian stand at the Paris Book Fair later on Thursday as a display of solidarity with Britain, the source added.
However, earlier, Macron’s spokesman suggested that British Prime Minister, Theresa May, was acting prematurely as she announced the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats, freezing Russian state assets and other sanctions against Moscow on Wednesday. “We don’t do fantasy politics. Once the elements are proven then the time will come for decisions to be made,” Benjamin Griveaux told a news conference in Paris.
